Uric acid

Uric acid is a scavenger of oxygen radical, a very important antioxidant and a product of the metabolic decomposition of purine nucleotides. Helps maintain stable blood pressure and fights oxidative stress. Uric acid removes reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as singlet oxygen and peroxynitrite and inhibits lipid peroxidation. It can be used to induce animal models of uric acid nephropathy.
